How can we find the 'echo of the original story' in a new adaptation?

Brainstorm with others. Get together with friends or fellow writers and bounce ideas around. They might come up with hooks that you haven't thought of. For instance, someone might suggest a hook based on a dream they had, which could be turned into an interesting start for your novel.

Social media can also be a great place to find good new stories. There are many groups dedicated to sharing positive news. For instance, there might be a group that shares stories of people who have overcome difficult situations in life, like recovering from an illness and then going on to do great things. It's all about following the right accounts and groups.

One way is to focus on minor characters. Often, old stories are told from the perspective of the main characters. By looking at the experiences and feelings of the side characters, we can get a new view. For example, in 'Romeo and Juliet', instead of just following the two lovers, we could explore the Nurse's point of view. She has her own hopes and fears regarding Juliet's situation, which can offer a different understanding of the story.

In the story of Echo and Narcissus, Echo was a lovely nymph. She was cursed by Hera to only be able to repeat the last words she heard. One day, Narcissus, a beautiful youth, came to a pool. Echo saw him and instantly fell in love. But Narcissus was so obsessed with his own beauty. When he saw his reflection in the water, he thought it was another person and fell in love with it. He stared at it for days and refused to leave. Echo tried to approach him but could only repeat his words. In the end, Narcissus died by the pool because he couldn't have his 'love' and Echo was left in despair and slowly disappeared.

One way is to look for historical references. If the work mentions specific events, dates, or locations that are known to be real, it might be based on a true story. For example, if a movie shows a battle that actually took place in history and gets the details right like the uniforms, the weapons, and the tactics, it could be an echo of a true story.

Another way is to look into academic research. Some folklorists and historians study nursery rhymes and their origins. You can search for their papers or books in libraries or online databases. They might have dug deep into historical records, cultural traditions, and oral histories to piece together the original stories. For example, they might analyze the language used in the rhymes, which can give clues about the time period and the context in which they were created.

One way is to look at official reports. If it's a military submarine, the military authorities usually conduct investigations and release statements. For civilian submarines, the companies or organizations operating them may have records. Another way is to interview any survivors if there are any. They can provide crucial information about what happened before the submarine went missing. Also, analyzing any debris or evidence found in the area where the submarine was last seen can give clues about the original story.

Online platforms are a great place to find all new stories. There are e - book stores like Amazon Kindle, where you can search for newly published books. Also, many websites dedicated to literature or specific genres often showcase new stories. Social media can also be useful; some authors or publishers promote their new stories there.

If they are in a newspaper or magazine, you can look through the latest issues, either in print or online. Usually, new stories are placed prominently.

It could mean a repetition or reflection of the main elements in the original story. For example, it might refer to a sequel that contains elements that remind us of the first story, like similar characters, settings, or themes.
